Broads Community

Broads ºCommunity wants to engage decision makers, stakeholders and local communities in sharing information and ideas on adapting to the predicted impacts of climate change and sea level rise in the Broads.

Everyone is welcome, whatever your interest – from recreation to farming, cultural heritage to housing, biodiversity to tourism, education to the local economy. Together we can plan for a changing environment and get the best for the Broads and those who live in, work in and enjoy the area.

Information and support

Broads ºCommunity is developing gradually, and information will be added to these pages as it comes forward. To get the best out of the ºCommunity we need your help, so join the debate! See below for more information and contact details.

Talks and advice

Through Broads °Community we can visit your local group, school or organisation for a presentation or discussion about climate adaptation in the Broads. Sessions can be tailored to suit your needs, from a 15 minute talk to an evening workshop. We may also be able to provide direct support to organisations and businesses in the Broads on how to develop ‘climate smart’ planning.
